This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody or a release, post bond, release anyone, or pull an official booking record. Please use the responsible public office or official locator below for an authoritative answer.
Official Records and Custody Contacts
For Sheriff-held agency records, contact the Smyth County Sheriff's Office, 626 South Main Street, Marion, VA 24354, non-emergency 276-782-4056. For a Virginia FOIA request to that office, the published contact is Carly Greer, FOIA Officer, at crgreer@smythcounty.org or 276-781-2349. The county's FOIA instructions explain the request route; published Sheriff charges are $25 per hour for research, compiling, and duplication, $0.50 per page, and $1 per CD.
Smyth County inmates are lodged at Abingdon Regional Jail within the Southwest Virginia Regional Jail Authority. The Sheriff-published jail contact is 15205 Joe Derting Drive, Abingdon, VA 24210, 276-739-3520. For a live custody question, start with SWVRJA Current Facility Inmates and its JailTracker locator. For an existing regional booking record or photo, use SWVRJA's FOIA policy and confirm the current recipient, fee, and request method with the Authority.
The following direct paths help match the question to the correct record system. A current-custody roster is not a court outcome, and a VADOC result is not a new local booking record.
- Use the SWVRJA locator for a person who may be in current regional custody at Abingdon Regional Jail.
- Use the Sheriff or SWVRJA FOIA route for a precise adult agency or booking-record request, rather than asking a private site to retrieve it.
- Use Virginia OCIS for public case information after booking; Smyth General District Court is 276-782-4047 and the Smyth Circuit Clerk is 276-782-4044.
- Use the VADOC locator for later state custody or supervision, not for the regional jail's current booking list.
- Use Virginia VINE for local or regional jail notifications, and VADOC NAAVI information for the separate state-custody notification system.
- For a Smyth warrant procedure, call Sheriff non-emergency. There is no verified public county name-search; Virginia State Police Wanted Persons is a separate selected statewide list.
- For a municipal agency record, use Marion's FOIA page, Saltville's FOIA policy, or Chilhowie's FOIA request form, and identify the specific town police record sought.
